mississippi is actually misi-ziibi, long river in ojibwe. ziibiing adds the -ing to ziibi, which makes it mean “by the river”

Violence begets violence. You can’t put violence into the world and then be shocked when violence comes back to you.

Séamas O'Reilly: Appeasing the far-right won't placate them — they'll just want the next cruelty
Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged.

This is clickbait from the Telegraph. But it does tell us something about how the UK - esp. exceptionalists and Brexiters - view the US.
It even tells us about the end of Empire.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad
Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
